Answer:
12 m
Explanation:
The object is in uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance covered can be found using the following suvat equation:
[tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
where
s is the distance
u is the initial velocity
t is the time
a is the acceleration
For this problem,
[tex]g=24 m/s^2[/tex]
and
u = 0, since we are considering the first second of motion
So, substituting t = 1 s, we find
[tex]s=0+\frac{1}{2}(24)(1)^2=12 m[/tex]
